Sermon # 9 - Learn To Speak Right Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 1, 2024

Do we wait for God’s timing or do we rush ahead of God? What happens when we speak words of doubt and disbelief instead of faith and trust in God? If we can learn to speak right and stay silent when we have to we will be blessed and avoid many pitfalls.

We read in Genesis 17:5, Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, because I am making you the ancestor of many nations. (GNB) When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him, and in this exclusive conversation, God told Abram that he would no longer be called Abram but as ...read more

Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020

Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

How To Handle The Unexpected Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 18, 2018

Mary serves as an example of how to handle life when life doesn't go as expected--a great example. We all experience this sort of thing, and we find out--life doens't go as expected all the time. How would God have us respond?

The Divine Advent(ure) How to Handle the Unexpected Luke 1:26-56 Have you ever noticed how life never seems to going exactly, or sometimes, even close to your plans? One of my favorite quotes is this one, apparently from an unbeliever: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” And ...read more

1: More Than A Feeling Series

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Nov 21, 2025

Christmas is often filled with pressure to feel joyful, peaceful, and festive — but what happens when we don’t feel it? In this message, we explore the story of Mary in Luke 1:26–38 and reminds us that real peace isn’t about how we feel, but who we trust.

God’s Strange Assignments

Contributed by Ricky Nelms on Jul 14, 2010

Sometimes God ask us to do strange things. When He does, there is always a purpose and a plan. There’s no way the human brain that weighs only about 3 pounds can understand this. This is why it’s best to do as Mary said, "Whatever He tells you to do, d

GOD’S STRANGE ASSIGNMENTS Text: John 2:1-11 "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: (2) And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

Fear Of God Part 4

Contributed by Gerald Albers on Oct 31, 2011

Now, we are wrapping up our series on fear. Three weeks ago we looked at Zechariah, a saintly old man who had lived his life with unanswered prayers. Two weeks ago, we looked at Mary. The angel told her not to be afraid of God changing her plans for her l

FEAR OF GOD Part 4 TEXT: Luke 2:8-20 8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the ...read more

Never Let The Wine Dry Up

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Jan 14, 2025

All of us are much like empty and broken pots. No matter how we plan or what we do, we always come up empty and short. Whether it is a marriage relationship or any other challenges, like Mary we need to seek the help of our Lord and believe before we can see.

This morning I have chosen the gospel reading to share a message entitled “Never let the wine run out.” But before I get into it, listen to this: A priest was driving erratically on a county road and got pulled over by a local cop. As the cop went up to the car he immediately got a strong smell of ...read more

Christmas Sunday 2019 - Who Are The Wise Men? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 21, 2019

In the account of the Wise Men in Matthew 2 we see a grand variety of characters. All who are living can be placed somewhere in the spectrum of characters ranging from Herod to the Magi. Let's examine ourselves to see where we fit into the narrative.

Christmas Sunday 2019 – Who Are the Wise Men?

Behold Your Son/Behold Your Mother Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 21, 2022

The crowds were mocking, the thieves were taunting, the priests were jeering, the soldiers were indifferent, the Savior was bleeding — and all the while His mother witnessed the horrible mockery.

I think you’d agree: there is something noteworthy about the last words of men and women. Winston Churchill’s last words were reported, “I’m bored with it all,” as he died of a stroke at the age of 90. Maybe the amusing last words were by the king of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, who said, “I’m ...read more

Top Ten Reasons Why Easter Jesus Is Better Than Christmas Jesus – Part 2

Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 28, 2019

This was a creative way we presented the Easter Story. We looked at the ways that Easter Jesus is better than Christmas Jesus and then decorated the auditorium half as Easter and half as Christmas. It worked very well.This post is Part Two of Top Ten Reasons.

During Easter 2019, I preached a creative message on Good Friday and Easter Sunday looking at the The Top Ten Reasons why Easter Jesus is better than Christmas Jesus.

Choose Your Shepherd Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 21, 2024

The Lord can be my shepherd if I choose Him. But why would anyone NOT choose Him? And what difference can He make in my life as "my shepherd"?

In September of 1938, a man from Long Island purchased a barometer. When it arrived in the mail he was disappointed to find that the needle appeared to be stuck.

How Love Looks Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jan 27, 2020

This is the 32nd sermon from a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus delayed his coming to Mary and Martha after Lazarus' death, and why He did that. As well as why it's so important to know Jesus, rather than just know about Him.

How Love Looks (Part 32) Text: John 11:1-16 Well it’s good to see you all this morning. Last Sunday, we had originally intended to go out to Arkansas to celebrate my dad’s birthday. And we did get to spend time with him on his birthday, but not at his house… in the hospital. I think most of you ...read more
